Roland Zdeněk Bulirsch (born November 10, 1932, Liberec) is a German mathematician specializing in numerical analysis.[1]
He earned his Ph.D. in 1966 at the Technical University of Munich and joined the faculty there in 1973.[2]
He is the author (with Josef Stoer) of Introduction to Numerical Analysis, a standard reference for the theory of numerical methods, and has also authored numerous other books and articles. The book From Nano to Space: Applied Mathematics Inspired by Roland Bulirsch is a tribute to his work.[3] The Bulirsch–Stoer algorithm is named after him and Stoer.
